Question

I'm a bit worried because I've been having chest pain for the last two weeks. I just got my 2D echo report, and it says I have a mild prolapse of the anterior mitral leaflet. I'm not diabetic, I don't smoke, and I don't drink alcohol. Other than that, all the other results in the echo report seem to be normal. Should I be concerned about this? Could you please take a look at my reports and give me some advice?

Based on your description and the 2D echo report showing mild mitral valve regurgitation, I recommend starting treatment with a calcium channel blocker such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help with the chest pain and manage the mild regurgitation. Additionally, you can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to reduce the risk of any clot formation. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

Question

My dad had an angioplasty on the 14th of last month, and now hes been dealing with a persistent cough. We've already seen our regular physician, but it hasn't improved. He's on Ramistar, Rampril, and has a reduced left ventricular function with an EF of 44. Should we be worried about this cough not getting better? Could it be related to his heart medications, or is something else going on? I'm looking for advice on what we should do next.

Question

I'm experiencing blurred vision along with muscle pain and feeling tired. I'm currently taking Cardace 5 mg, Metolar XR 50, Pantadoc 40 mg, Levazeo 25, Ecospirin 50 mg, Clopilet 75 mg, a statin 20 mg, Istamet 1001000, and Thyronorm 37.5 daily. Do you think there's a possibility any medicine could be reduced?

I've been having this mild pain on the left side of my chest for the last couple of days, and it seems to come and go. It's not too bad right now, but I'm a bit worried and wondering what might be causing it and if I should be concerned. Any advice on what steps I should take next?
